Default OEM Front Spoiler Install

I just purchased the OEM front spoiler and it came with directions. I can't seem to get the 4 clips (with the nut) to fit. I assume the nut portion fits up in the cutout. I don't see how the clips should be inserted......I don't want to force them. Anyone done this install. Tips or pointers appreciated.

Does the Helm manual give a better pic than the included instructions?

Kind of bend the clips out so they are not so flat, kind of like into an "A" shape so you can slide the part of the clip to the underside of the car.

I couldn't do it either until I bent the clips out a little bit, it would not go in until I did this.

Just bend the clips (like an "A") as someone else has mentioned so that it opens up a bit so that they fit. You don't need the Helm Manual ... I thought you were talking about something else. Once you slide the clips on, line up the holes to the front bumper and insert the bolts through the clip, the front spoiler, and the bumper. If everything is in place, you shouldn't have to force anything on really. If you feel resistance, check everything again.
